YottaYotta
Introduces the GSX 3000 NetStorage Control Node
A
New Enterprise Standard for High Performance, Resilient Global Data
Sharing
EDMONTON, AB, Nov.
8, 2005 – YottaYotta, the
High Performance NetStorage® Company, announced today the
availability of the GSX 3000 NetStorage Control Node, the first storage
network device to make resilient, high-performance global data sharing
a reality for the enterprise.
With the YottaYotta GSX 3000, enterprises now have greater flexibility
in the placement and utilization of vital business information and
their related storage assets, all without regard to distance
limitations. Without impacting existing server and storage
assets, the transparent addition of the YottaYotta GSX 3000 to existing
storage networks can dramatically improve performance and resilience
while reducing operating expenses – all without across-the-board
network upgrades. The YottaYotta GSX 3000 also opens up new
approaches to managing and implementing critical storage applications
such as transparent multi-site data sharing, fully-active site-aware
geographic RAID, continuous-access data migration and consolidation,
data grid and high-speed data transport.
“YottaYotta is introducing a new standard for resilient,
high-performance global data sharing,” said Bart Shigemura, president
and chief executive officer of YottaYotta. “We are breaking down
the data center walls that limit current storage networking
capabilities and are providing new, highly effective methods for
persistent read and write access between previously isolated islands of
storage anywhere in the world. Because of the improved storage
networking flexibility and performance made possible with the GSX 3000,
companies can now significantly reduce their IT expenditures while
simultaneously making storage operations more robust."
“The coherent peer-to-peer architecture of the GSX 3000 can
significantly boost storage resiliency. For example, recovery
time and recovery point objectives of zero can be achieved after a
storage system failure with applications and users never realizing a
failure even occurred,” Shigemura added. “Without forklift
upgrades, the GSX 3000 makes transparent fail-over and fail-back
possible without the disruptive and time consuming need to re-mount
file systems and restart applications. The GSX 3000 does this
with the added ROI benefit of turning idle, standby recovery site
resources into active load-balancing assets that not only protect data
but also improve performance. IT managers can now rest assured
that restoration capabilities will work because they are used
operationally everyday and not just once or twice a year during
testing.”
GLOBAL BLOCK
SERVICES SETS A NEW STANDARD
Extending the reach of high performance storage networks demands a new
approach. YottaYotta’s introduction of Global Block Services with
the GSX 3000 enables a new paradigm for robust global data
sharing. This rich set of foundational services includes
intelligently localizing shared access to data across distance,
optimizing wide area network (WAN) resources, and transparently
providing resilient, persistent data access despite storage, site, or
network failures. Together these can have a far reaching,
positive impact on the performance and resilience of high performance
storage applications and equipment already in place while at the same
time opening up new possibilities and approaches that better serve the
critical business needs for storage users located across a city or
around the world.
The highly compact, one rack-unit GSX 3000, with its dense and diverse
mix of Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, and Gigabit Ethernet ports, gives IT
managers the added flexibility of interconnecting distant GSX 3000
NetStorage Control Nodes via multiple protocols including InfiniBand,
Fibre Channel, Ethernet, and SONET. Contributing to storage
performance and resiliency is a globally coherent and redundant cache
pool. Each GSX 3000 node supports up to 32 GB of cache and nodes
can be aggregated within the data center or across multiple sites to
further improve performance.
For high-performance, resilient global data sharing, the GSX 3000 and
YottaYotta’s Global Block Services serve as the key to increased
utilization of IT resources, local SAN performance over the WAN and
fully-active continuity of operations (COOP).

About YottaYotta
YottaYotta is setting the new enterprise standard for resilient,
high-performance global data sharing and fully-active continuity of
operations (COOP). The GSX 3000 NetStorage Control Node and
YottaYotta’s suite of Global Block services localize access to globally
coherent data, enabling organizations to leverage their entire storage
infrastructure across multiple distributed sites while providing a
significant reduction in WAN traffic. The result is increased
utilization of IT resources, SAN performance over the WAN, and
continuity of operations despite site failures and network
disruptions. Founded in January 2000, YottaYotta is privately
funded with offices in Edmonton, AB and Alexandria, VA. For more
